Re: [Rd] R, AIX 64-bit builds - trying to understand root cause for message: "Error: Line starting 'Package: tools ...' is malformed!"

Hi Simon, I have been busy with work, but I finally got around to repackaging libiconv for AIX - in a way that both adds GNU libiconv support (libiconv.so.2 member) and is both 32 and 64 bit without breaking support for IBM iconv applications. I concur that iconv is a pain as IBM and GNU

ose are the official ones. I may try gcc later, but I'm really interested in the IBM ones because that gives us a good non-GNU test (e.g., TRE fails in JIT due some alleged GNUisms so you can't use the strict compiler mode). Cheers, Simon On Jan 3, 2016, at 10:59 AM, Michael Felt <aixto...

[Rd] Building R for AIX in 64-bit mode

Hi. Just wanted to let you know I am getting close to packaging R for AIX in 64.bit mode. One comment - the libtool.m4 I see used is quite old. The one I have on my system is 2.4.6, and what I see in R says: I am hoping a new libtool will clean up most of the manual work now needed. # Which
